I usually don't do "previously"'s, but now here I am, doing one… ;-)

Previously…

He asked innocently with his beautiful eyes and everything Izzie could do was nod, before he closed the gab behind them and their lips met in a long awaited, soft kiss. Izzie couldn't explain it, it was hot and cold and explosive all in one. She could feel his tender breath from his nose tickling hers and his hand, still stroking her cheek. The kiss only lasted about six seconds, but when they pulled apart, it felt like an eternity. As if it was meant to be. As if all this time they had known each other, but always seem to look past one another.

He left her alone, still sitting on the same spot she sat earlier.

Did I really kiss her?

Did he really kiss me?

I did.

He did.

They sat across from each other two days later, when the Chief had invited them, all of Bailey's former interns and their attendings, to a little brainstorming to optimize patient care.

"I haven't invited all of the residents, it's not necessary, to many heads make it even more complicated. Okay, we'll do one round, everybody says something that he or she thinks should be worked on. Dr. Grey."

Derek vaguely heard the Chiefs words and the words of the people after that. All he thought about was the kiss and from time to time he stole a glance at the woman across from him, turning away quickly when she caught him.

"Dr. Sheperd… it's your turn! Dr. Sheperd?… Dr. Sheperd!"

Derek just then realized it was his turn to say something, so he made something up about people forgetting the names of the patients and that the patients would feel much more comfortable, when they would be more included in the rounds and all the medical talk. He was happy when they moved on to Karev who sat beside him.

Izzie looked at Derek while he spoke. It was the first time in the meeting, where she could just watch him without anybody being suspicious about it, but she didn't stop when it was Alex turn, she just kept on watching him. Their eyes met briefly and she could see his eyes lit up a bit or was she imagining things now? Derek loved Meredith right? She heard the person next to her talk and knew it was her turn soon, so she scanned through her notes again, because she didn't want to forget anything, she had a lot to say.

Izzie talked about how patients feel, when they are talked about as only surgeries, that the nurses and the doctors should communicate better, when it comes to the patients wishes and… well, she went on and on about a thousand other things.

"Okay, Dr. Stevens, thank you, you have a few very good points there and you are the only one that came prepared, so thank you. And everybody else should take a page out of her book. Okay, now we have eight points which I think are worth talking about…"

Their eyes met again and this time they didn't look away.

He mouthed the words "Let's meet." to her and she mouthed back "Work." and pointing her finger at him and then at herself, without anyone noticing. He nodded "Okay".

Should I ask her out?

Will he ask me out?

I should.

I hope.
